China Rural Commercial Bank Report, 2007 Since the radical reform of the rural credit cooperatives in 2003, great strides have been made in the reform of the property right system and the corporate governance. On the whole, the management ability and the risk resistant ability and the service standard of the rural cooperative financial institutions show a remarkable improvement. Its status as the mainstay of supporting rural development has been further consolidated. Especially a more notable progress has been made in the creation of a group of rural commercial banks based on the principle of shareholding system. The rural commercial banks have basically got onto the track of healthy development and have fundamentally obtained the necessary qualification to make a transition to modern financial rural enterprises.
